Species Argument

Another threat to polar ice caps . . .

One of the claims of climate change activists is that there will be mass species extinctions as the result of global warming.

Many of the creatures from dirtflake’s website already face extinction. Won’t you please reduce your carbon footprint (by using pens instead of pencils) to help save some of these rare creatures?

We all need to be concerned about the danger posed by Giant Pandas.

Giant pandas are real and threaten the entire world

I heartily recommend dirtflake’s website for giving your perspective on the world the equivalent of a chiropractor’s adjustment - it might not be mainstream medicine, but you’ll feel better.

    Mark -

    What’s your take on the rising gas prices? I’m curious …

    Lyndsey,
    It is pretty much the law of supply and demand in action.

    Demand for oil (and derivatively, gasoline) continues to increase but various government regulations don’t allow oil companies to even attempt to increase supplies.

    The result is higher prices.

    The solution, IMHO, is to allow the free market to work and eliminate restrictions on drilling for oil, especially in places like the Alaskan tundra.

    Two very good related articles on the subject are here (on how to reduce gas prices):

    and here (on “price gouging”):

About Environmental Talk

Environmental Talk is a blog that attempts to do the impossible . . . which is to have a reasoned and nuanced approach to the science and issues surrounding global warming. At the same time, we are not above taking the occasional potshot at the extremists and posers on both sides of the topic.

As a global warming agnostic, blogger/moderator Mark Jabo attempts to come down squarely on the side of finding humor in what is, too often, a needlessly contentious topic.
